Took delivery of MDX w/ Tech/Ent, Nimbus Grey(Odometer 37 miles)  Open Rd Acura, Brunswick, NJ. Here is the breakdown. Of course, a few days email haggling went around. $42000 2940 (NJ Tax ) 7.50 Tire charge 79.00 Title registration 298.00 Doc + Two FREE oil changes $45324 Total OTD. I declined most of the rarely used add-on services and extended warranty since all were with bloated markups. They said it had 37 miles since they have to get it from a different dealer.

Just got a base model MDX for $37,036 plus $299 doc and Title, tax, and reg. This is $100 over invoice. Probably could have gotten to invoice, or maybe even lower, but it was close enough for me. I e-mailed internet managers and asked them if they could beat each other's prices. Did all the negotiation in 1 week and went to a dealer in N. Virgina with a lot of color options. Picked the color and was on my way. Good luck if you are purchasing, it's a great car! |

Hi, Thanks for your advice. I looked at the site which was offering the extended warranty for $500 less than what I paid. The online application form for Acura extended warranty at http://hondawarrantyinfo.com has Honda care written on it and the application form given by my dealer has Acura care written on it. Moreover the site you mentioned is a Honda dealer and NOT an Acura dealer. So an extended warranty purchased from a Honda dealer will not be honored by an Acura dealer. |

Replying to: cvista (Apr 29, 2007 9:08 am) Item Acura $$ RetailDealer$$ My $$ Roof Rails $219 $389 $299 Sports Running Boards $560 $765 $587 Wheels Locks $85 $123 $94 ------ ----- ------- Totals $864 $1277 $980 Compared to Acura listed price I paid only $116 more for the accessories. (I do understand that the installation of the above would take nearly 2 hours * $80 = $160 would cost the dealer) Acura MDX sports Invoice $41334 destination Charge $670 ------- MDX was offered to me at $42004 (I tried for 1% holdback to be given to me but they were not ready. Holdback would generally be 1% to 3% from factory to dealer) After I got the confirmation from different dealers that they can't beat this price I made up my mind to take for the above listed price. What more could I have done to get a better deal? Any idea Cvista? You can get good finance from credit unions if you have excellent credit.

Replying to: pvsaig949 (Apr 29, 2007 6:52 pm) At this time, you can't go any lower unless you wait til memorial day !! Where did you get 4.7 ??. APR is the one delaying my purchase. DCU credit union gives me 6.5 for 60 months. MY FICO score is around 780

Replying to: cvista (Apr 29, 2007 8:05 pm) Here are the links I can give you to find the best rates I could get during my car buy. www.northwestfcu.org - 60 months 4.74% - 4.99% https://www.usalliance.org/welcomeX.aspx 60 months 5.75% - 5.99% How much would you expect that they could go down during the memorial day sale? Guess is OK for me?

Replying to: newbie17 (Apr 28, 2007 12:03 pm) $500 - $1000 by credit card only. At any cost NO cash or checks. -should i lease or own? (i dont want to change cars every year-this would do just fine) Buy, I mean Own the car. -any hidden costs i should be aware of ? lemon law - $5 - $10 Title + Reg + Lien = $150 (Max) Documentation Charge $300 (Max) Don't let the dealer tell you to get the VIN etching with him (dealer may tell that is the state or federal law). There is no law that the VIN etching as to be done at the dealer and you can get get a package for doing your self for $50 max on the internet. -i want to keep my old license plate nos, how do i do that? Just tell the dealer that you want to keep your plates but are you doing a trade in? |

Replying to: pvsaig949 (Apr 30, 2007 4:33 am) Probably they might offer 1.9 or 2.9 APR where you could save some money. For NCU, can anyone become member ??? or do they need reference ??
